Comments:

First 3 QSOs were with CX,ZS,and 6W,then a string of W's.  Europe didn't open
until 0030Z, then it was a steady stream.  Finished the first night with a
score of 408K, including 170 6-point QSOs.  Condx the first night were quite
noisy, requiring many repeats.  No UAs were either worked or heard the first
night.  Best DX was a toss up between ZS4TX, VK4TT, and 3D2EE.

Second night condx were better, but because of the operating time limitations
many stations sleep the second night, so there were fewer stations to work. 
RU1A was the first UA worked at 0017Z, quickly followed by 6 more.  Last UA was
worked at 0101Z.   

80M during the summer is a different animal.  The opening to Europe is much
shorter, signals are lower, and noise is higher.  A new local source of
interference also became noticeable this weekend that will have to be traced
down and corrected.
